Slowly Forgotten

Chapter 2

I read my class schedule to see what class I had first: Calculus. I head down to the Calculus classroom and walk in and just sat down somewhere. I looked at the board it had Mrs.Reed written on it in white chalk. I heard someone come and sit behind me I turned around to see who it was. I turn around to the see the most pleasant surprise...Gilinsky! I roll my eyes and turn back around. The bell rings and fairly young looking women walks in.

"Hi everyone! I'm Mrs. Reed, I'll be your calculus teacher this year! I'm new to this school so for you newbies I'll be learning every rope to the school with you!" She says. She starts talking some more about the rules and stuff. Me being me every time I didn't understand something she said I raised my hand. She was completely fine with it, but every time I raised my hand Gilinsky whispered geek in my ear. I was about to turn around and say something, but I wasn't trying to get detention on the first day of school. So I guess I should tell you a little more about me and JJ's past (that was my nickname for him). So basically we had been friends since kindergarten. We always did our homework together, went over each other's houses, all stuff best friends do, but all changed in 9th grade. You see, through middle school we were seen as the schools two biggest geeks so when we started high school JJ decided he didn't want to be a geek anymore so he didn't hang out with me as much, but that was just 9th grade. In 10th grade every time I tried to hang out with him he said he was "busy", then in 11th grade Gilinsky and Sam except him into their little "clique" "group"'whatever you want to call it and he was "to cool"to hang out with me. And that brings us to today the first day of 12th grade! And...well you just got to experience my first bully encounter today, but don't worry there is more to come!

"Alright guys I'll see you tomorrow! But don't forget to bring in-" Mrs.Reed was cut off by the bell ringing.

"A SPIRAL NOTEBOOK!" She yells over the bell. I pick up my bag and look at my schedule to see what class I have next: AP English, I walk out of the classroom, and head down to the AP English room. I walk in and take a seat next to somebody, I didn't even bother to see who it was. I look next to see Jack Fucking Johnson! This day just keeps getting better and better! My mind is fill with questions and thoughts like: "Why the hell is he in AP English?!" "He hasn't been in AP classes since 9th grade!" "Isn't he too cool for AP classes!" "Maybe his mom made him!"

"Or maybe-" my thoughts were cut off by a women's voice.

"Hi I'm Mrs. Webster, I'll be your AP English teacher for 12th grade," she said in a monotoned voice. I could go on and on explaining to whole class to you but you probably end up falling asleep. Once the bell rang I headed to my next class, Spanish. And guess who I had it with! Mallory! That's JJ's girlfriend, she hates me. Luckily I went the whole class without getting notice by her. Next period on my list: Lunch! I head down to the cafeteria and plopped down at some random table where nobody was sitting and nobody would sit because I was there. That's one of the perks of be a geek you get a lunch table to yourself! I take a squished ham sandwich and some chips out of my bag and start eating. After I finish eating I throw my trash away and head to my locker. I see JJ, Gilinsky, and Sammy at JJ's locker. I hurry up a open my locker door so that don't see me.

"Yeah dude we so need to go to UCLA!" I hear Sammy say.

"Yeah school during the day, partying at night!" I hear Gilinsky say. I roll my eyes I remember there was a time where JJ actually cared about his grades and wanted to go to Harvard or Yale, but I guess that was the old JJ this is the new JJ. I get my 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th period stuff out of my locker and put my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd period stuff in.

"So Jack me and Sam are smoking tonight wanna come?" Gilinsky says in a whisper but I was close enough to hear it.

"Count me in," JJ whispers back.

"Good, catch you later," Gilinsky says while walking away with Sammy. I close my locker door and JJ turns around and faces me because he just realized there was some one behind him.

"How much of that did you hear?" He ask. His cheeks turning red.

"Enough to know you aren't the Jack Johnson I use to hang out with, what happened to the Jack that want to go to Harvard and the jack that didn't smoke because he didn't want to damage his health? You've changed Jack Edward Johnson, you really have," I say. He's at lost for words. I just walk to my next class. What happened to the Jack Johnson I use to know?
